We got back home and after a couple of days, we think we are sort of adjusted to Eastern Standard Time. It is just in time to have the time change this weekend where we set the clocks back one hour. Alas! It will be dark at 5:30 P.M.
Anyway, I wanted to put a few photos in that I thought were important at the time.
Walt finally had a chance to read the newspaper while in the Dead Sea. This was taken with the little waterproof camera at dusk. Not the best quality but a good effort.
The following are some of our favorites.
This was a trip of a lifetime and we saw so much. I am sure we won't remember half of it but at least we have some photos to remind us of some of the unique sites. There was an awful lot packed into two weeks with little down time to absorb. There is so much history and culture as well as Biblical and religious information in this area of the world. These countries have layers and layers of history beneath their streets. It was wonderful to experience.

Walking on old Roman roads that are still in decent condition. I am not sure we can say the same for our current roads.
Nice view over Jerusalem
View of the Dome on the Rock at Temple Mount from a small church.
Just a nice overlook in Jerusalem
Petra was wonderful.
Having a nice glow after our hike up to Masada
Masada
The Roman siege ramp at Masada
On the steps that Jesus walked on to the Temple. These were pretty worn and slanted but after 2,000 years, they seem in good shape.
You can see some of the repaired steps behind. Neat place. It did happen to rain that day. We were fortunate it only rained one day on our trip.
